Five in court over historic abuse allegations
Accused plead not guilty over charges arising from between 1970 and 1983 at St Ninian’s School in Falkland
Five men have appeared in court facing allegations of abusing pupils at a Fife Catholic school between 1970 and 1983.
The men, aged between 61 and 77 face charges of physically and sexually abusing boys at the former St Ninian’s School in Falkland (above).
The accused are John Farrell, 72, Paul Kelly, 62, Edward Egan, 77, Michael Murphy, 75, and William Don, 61. All five pleaded not guilty to the charges at the High Court in Glasgow.
The 23-page indictment lists 131 charges involving more than 40 alleged victims.
The school was run by the Christian Brothers organisation until it closed in the 1980s. Prosecutors allege a number of sexual attacks took place against pupils there. Judge Lord Turnbull adjourned the case until a further hearing in July and no trial was set.
